PC builders. What was your first CPU,GPU and Mobo that you

Pieced together and built?

And did you have any issues?

What OS did you install?

Back in the early 2000’s. MSI MB and an Intel 2.4 gig processor. Think I paid like 600 bucks for a graphics card , and it ran Mech warrior and Unreal Tournament with no issues .
Was running windows ME at the time , but it was soon replaced with XP , my fav release . My old computer room

Rookies. My first pc that I built didn't have a graphics card, had 4mb of RAM, and a 1.6gb HD with a 14.4 baud modem. Haha

Just built one this year with 96 gig of RAM, and a 4090 card that pulls more power than many computers. It's crazy the changes that I've seen since I started.

After building 3 I can’t be bothered anymore , unless it’s something very elaborate. I went to get a new gaming rig, it’s been about 15 years since I gamed , and I asked my guy where the cd rom was lol. Then the Misc had to explain to me how to actually get games now. I had no idea everything was threw Steam , as I’ve been out of the loop too long

Newest rig , 4090, i9
